+## Configure Development Environment
+
+* Create a new Python Virtual Environment for qct_parse
+    * Unix based (Mac or Linux):    
+      `python3 -m venv name_of_env`
+    * Windows:    
+      `py -m venv name_of_env`
+      (where 'name_of_env' is replaced with the name of your virtual environment)
+* Activate virtual env
+    * Unix based (Mac or Linux):     
+      `source ./name_of_env/bin/activate`
+    * Windows:     
+      `name_of_env\scripts\activate`
+* Install Package as editable package
+    * Navigate to the repo root directory `path/to/qct-parse/`
+    * Run the command:    
+      `python -m pip install -e .`
+
+## Run Tests
+
+If you intend to develop the code for your proposes or contribute to the open source project, a test directory is provided in the repo.
